Woot!!!

Yay! I just found out the other day that I have been accepted to be part of the Aussie Cards For Sale group of designers!!! Together with other talented cardmakers icluding Fran Tynan and Linda Langes, my cards will be for sale on the site for $5.00 each including a matching envelope. How cheap is that?! You have to pop on over to Aussie Cards For Sale... go on... what are you waiting for?! LOL!

I look forward to sharing the cards that I design for Aussie Cards For Sale here on my blog.

In other news, it is only 7 days til our wedding! Eek eek eek!!! Next Sunday is the big day!

Thanks for dropping by!

Aussie Cards For Sale is currently running a designer search and I have decided to enter four cards so that I might be considered as a designer for the site. I love the idea behind the site - it is a place to buy quality Australian-made handmade cards at a great price!

Here's cards I am submitting;
























































































If you get a chance, pop on over to Aussie Cards For Sale and snap up a card made by the likes of Liz Weber and Fran Tynan... and you'll get it cheaper than a store-bought card! Bargain!!!

Happy 2011!!!

It's the first of January... the first day of the new year!!! How did you bring in the new year? James and I went to the Perth Greyhound races. It was so much fun! We won on most races (though if we're gonna be honest it was me who did most of the winning! LOL!) and we watched the fireworks. The fireworks were incredible! They were so close that we could see the guys lighting them and the burst right over our heads. Awesome!!!

Being the first of January also means it is only 16 days til our wedding day! H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P!!! LOL!

To kick of the new year, I have a layout to share. I completed it a couple of weeks ago but didn't get around to posting it;


















Welcome Layout
Cardstock - Bazzill, Patterned paper - October Afternoon, Alphas - American Crafts, October Afternoon, Stickers - October Afternoon, Rub-on - October Afternoon, Twine - Papertrey Ink, Buttons - craft suplly, Black machine thread - craft supply.

This layout documents the moment we welcomed Ollie into the world. There is pull-out journalling under the photo.

Well, I best leave you to get on with your day! Enjoy the first day of the new year!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Wishing you and your family a never-ending season of love, joy and peace!

Have a wonderful, magical Christmas day and the happiest new year ever!

Queen Bee!

I have just completed a set of ten cards using the Queen Bee collection from Pink Paislee. I needed to add stock to my card stash so I made these cards using a variety of sentiments covering everything from new babies to wedding days to birthdays!!! Here's my cards;

Can you believe Christmas is just over a week away?!! I am exceptionally organised this year which is surprising given I'm also single-handedly organising our wedding in January. All the presents have been bought AND wrapped (excluding my Dad's... please does anyone have any ideas???), cards are made and written in and sent, and the Christmas photos have been taken. So I've got a stress free week ahead!

Wel, that's it from me cos Ollie has just woken up and is calling for his Mama!

Have a fabulous weekend!

P.S. How's this for cute?!














P.P.S. And look at my sweet ballerina!!!

TTDOC Dec 3!

As part of Scrapz' 12 Days of Christmas challenge, I made this bookmark. I have been reading ALOT lately so it has proved very useful so far. At the moment I am reading New Moon. I am jumping on the bandwagon just a little late, which is evidenced by the fact I've been able to loan my copy from the library!, but really glad I got a chance to read them. Great books and an excellent story! Anyway, here's my bookmark;

Have a great day!

The Twelve Days of Christmas!

The fun has begun at Scrapz with the challenge and prizes for days 1 and 2 having been announced. For day one, Sheree asked us to make a gift tag, and today Deb challenged us to create a Christmas-themed thank you card.

I made my gift tag using products from the new Making Memories Noel collection plus some twine and a Kaiser tag. How cool are the Kaiser tags?! I have to get the coordinating stamp set I think. I love tags too much to pass it up!













Joy Tag
Tag - Kaiser, Patterned paper - Making Memories, Felt flower - Making Memories, Brad - Making Memories, Twine - Papertrey Ink, Glimmer spray - unknown.

I went with a 'thanks for my present' angle for the Christmas-themed thank you card;

















Christmas Thank You Card
